Although rooms in Whitmyre Hall vary considerably in size, the average
double room is 15’0” x 12’0” with a window
measuring 3’8” x 4’5” (w x h). The walls throughout
the building are plaster with a height of nearly eight feet.
All rooms are equipped with built-in dressers, closets,
desks, desk chairs and bunkable beds. Two waste cans (one for recyclables
and the other for regular trash) are also provided. The standard
bunk bed arrangement is 18” from the floor to the top of the
lower mattress and 57” from the floor to the top of the upper
mattress; this arrangement allows approximately eight inches of clearance
under the lower mattress. The window has a pull-down shade.
In most rooms, only the two standard sized bunkable beds can be moved
since other furniture is permanently fixed. Residents may have
lofts, but they must be sturdy, well-braced, and of solid construction.
Each closet has a clothing rod; some have hooks and some do not while
some are moveable and some are affixed to the walls. Lighting is
provided via overhead lighting
Residents are encouraged to decorate their rooms; however,
university-owned furniture cannot be removed from the room. Pictures
and posters can be hung using poster putty only. Nails, bolts,
tacks, glue, or other adhesives cannot be used to affix materials
to the walls. Requests for painting must be approved in advance
by the Residence Director. Students may NOT return prior to the official
opening of the residence hall to paint their rooms.
